Risperdal Lawsuit Ends in $1B Verdict Against Johnson & Johnson April 12, 2012 Staff Writers Add Your CommentsJohnson & Johnson has been hit with a $1.2 billion verdict by an Arkansas judge, after a jury found the company guilty of hiding or minimizing the health risks associated with their antipsychotic Risperdal. Arkansas Circuit Court Judge Tim Fox decided on a fine of $1.19 billion for 240,000 violations of Arkansas Medicaid fraud laws. The company was also fined $11 million for deceptive practices.The decision is the latest in a string of losses for Johnson & Johnson as a result of lawsuits brought by various states over the drug maker’s illegal marketing of Risperdal for off-label uses and failure to adequately disclose the side effects Risperdal.Do You Know about…Spinal Cord Stimulator lawsuitsSpinal cord stimulator lawsuits are being investigated for individuals who suffered unnecessary shocks, burns or other problems, often resulting in the need for additional surgery to remove the SCS.Learn MoreSEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATIONDo You Know About…Spinal Cord Stimulator lawsuitsSpinal cord stimulator lawsuits are being investigated for individuals who suffered unnecessary shocks, burns or other problems, often resulting in the need for additional surgery to remove the SCS.Learn MoreSEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATIONIn January, Johnson & Johnson agreed to pay the Department of Justice (DOJ) more than $1 billion to settle federal claims of illegal marketing. Off-label marketing occurs when a drug company promotes the use of its drug for purposes other than those approved by the FDA, and is illegal. Doctors can prescribe a drug for any purpose they see fit, but companies cannot promote them for unapproved uses.The DOJ has been investigating Johnson & Johnson’s marketing of Risperdal since 2004, when it began looking into an alleged kickback scheme between the drug maker and Omnicare, the nation’s largest provider of drugs to nursing homes. In 2009, Omnicare reached a settlement with DOJ over kickback charges. The DOJ investigators indicated that Johnson & Johnson paid Omnicare millions to push off-label use of Risperdal to nursing home doctors and hid the kickbacks as data fees, education fees and payments to attend Omnicare meetings. In January 2010, the DOJ filed a civil False Claims Act complaint against J&J.Risperdal is frequently used as a “chemical restraint” in nursing homes, used to subdue unruly residents. However, studies have shown that the drug increases the risk of death in patients with dementia, and there have been nationwide efforts to curb its use for such off-label purposes.

My grandson has been repeatedly hospitalized since November with Pancreititis, including NOW. And no one wants to say it has anything to do with these meds. I am in the process of completing research Daniel April 13, 2012 Risperdal reproached. Same saga here as Eli Lilly Zyprexa. Johnson and Johnson is a trusted brand we associate with babies. Risperdal,Zyprexa,as well as the other atypical antipsychotics, are being prescribed for children, even though this is an unapproved, off-label use. An estimated 2.5 million children are now taking atypical antipsychotics. Over half are being given them for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder,many of these foster children. Weight gain, increases in triglyceride levels and associated risks for (life-long) diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Eli Lilly made $65 BILLION on Zyprexa!
